San Francisco (CNN) For the first time, an African-American woman has been elected mayor of the city of San Francisco. London Breed reached the milestone on Wednesday, when her opponent conceded a tight mayoral race. Breed will serve until 2020, finishing the term of the late Mayor Ed Lee, who died in December at age 65. "I am so hopeful about the future of our city, and I am looking forward to serving as your mayor. She also acknowledged the competitive race: "Whether you voted for me or not, as mayor, I will be your mayor too."
